Not sure I agree with that. I think martyrdom is doing something for other(s) with no consideration for self in the equation. This is separation, as the self is an other, or there is self and others (separation). My opinion only, of course.
I agree that not everything is a slippery slope to martyrdom. I didn't mean to imply it is.

I agree. Already there are many people working from home and learning that discipline and focus. The separation of friends and family is bringing up feelings to process. If it's true that this vaccine development will help to stop animal testing that is a huge step in compassion. I see many good things coming out of this among the many challenges.
